Comments on Home Page
-
I’m using 2017 theme and want visitors to be able to see how many comments are on a post, on the hompage. I’m very confused why you can would want to see the comments on the page only and not the hompage, if you show the full excerpt on the homepage. Any code to make this possible because I don’t see a toggle option?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
southbowlleagues.com is hosted by Unified Layer
Name Servers:
ns2.hostmonster.com
ns1.hostmonster.comYou are posting to the wrong support forum. This is WordPress.COM support and that site is not on our servers.
We do not provide support for local installs of WordPress.ORG software, or for WordPress.ORG software installs on paid hosting, linked to WordPress.COM accounts with the Jetpack plugin so they display on the My Sites WordPress.COM account page. However, about 30% of those who post here every day are posting to the wrong support forum and must be redirected to the correct support forum.
WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
wordpress.org support
The wordpress.ORG support forum is at http://wordpress.org/support. The wordpress.ORG login link is here https://login.wordpress.org/ If you do not have an account yet then click Create an account https://login.wordpress.org/register/ and if you have lost an account password click Lost password? https://login.wordpress.org/lostpassword/
WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page

However, if help cannot be found at either one then they can file a Jetpack support ticket here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/?jetpack=needs-service -
Additional information:
Comments are collapsed on the front pages of our sites and this cannot be changed because it is coded into the core of wordpress software. In a new blog, one does not have many posts or comments. In an established blog with many comments if the comments did not collapse on the front page it would become a mile long in no time flat and page loading time is a page ranking factor. We have only seconds before visitors refuse to wait and click out.

By default all WordPress blogs have open comments on all pages and posts. Unless we use the P2 theme or P2 breathe theme which are Twitter-like theme the front pages of our blogs showcase content and comments are collapsed on that page and you cannot change this. The way the comments function is coded into the core of WordPress. By clicking the post title or the comments link the posts on the front page open on their own page where all comments display.
